Today I had to go south, a little drive south.
Took 280 and as soon as I merged, noticed cars behind me with the orange funeral sticker so I was aware that the hearse would be in front, somewhere...
It is normal to see a long line of cars, flashing lights and to show some courtesy which I do but those people (some) have absolutely no common sense nor respect for other motorists; using three lanes, cutting in front, one sticking half his body out the window at freeway speed...
I knew they would be headed to Colma at least so thinking ahead and to avoid any issues I signal my lane change so I can merge left; this idiot starts honking like it's his lane as in "belongs to me"; on the rear view mirror I still see the caravan hugging most of the lanes, lane splitting, switching lanes, cutting other drivers WTF is wrong with those people; it was a funeral procession, not a side show !!!
And yes, the hearse was ahead, waaaaaaay ahead of that caravan of _____ and yes, those behind the hearse were driving decently, flashers on and keeping a safe distance, single lane.
101 Northbound was shut down south of SJ, flooded badly. My option was to drive to Monterey and take Hwy. 1
I know the road, long way from home but it was also closed at some point due to flooding. I followed the GPS; what a beautiful scenery the back roads are; raging creeks thinking they are old rivers, reservoirs full, a kid playing in the mud!! about 10 wild turkeys on a hillside, a sky that poured and stopped to let some sun in and light a rainbow or two...
Came home via Almaden expressway, 85, 280.
